Seneca
Seneca, a prominent Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright, was born in Corduba (present-day Córdoba, Spain) around 4 BCE. He served as an advisor to Emperor Nero. His credibility in Stoicism stems from his extensive writings on ethics and philosophy, notably "Letters from a Stoic," which offer practical guidance on Stoic principles. Other notable works include "On the Shortness of Life" and "On Anger." Seneca's contributions significantly shaped Stoic thought and Roman intellectual culture.
